Google Sheets - Add Row: Really needs a speed improvement. Very slow. Can take over 15 minutes just to add 10 rows.

Thanks - yes the add row to google sheet automation is painfully slow. One table has been running over night and still only added 15 rows.

Hey,
You’re right, the “Add row to Google Sheets” automation is painfully slow right now, especially on bigger tables. That slowness is coming from the Google Sheets API side, not from anything you set up incorrectly, and we’re already working on making this faster.
Which workspace are you running this in? I can take a look and see if there’s anything we can adjust to help.
Let me know if you have more questions.
